  1. Public Property? on On EBay: Shuttle Flight Deck Simulator · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If he recieved a grant (I'm assuming some type of educational type), wouldn't this be property of the goverment/school system/public entity?

  2. Disney's Involvement on How To Clone A Mammoth · · Score: 2, Funny


    Word is that Disney is helping to fund this. They've asked for a special one-off cross breed of a basset hound and the Mammoth.

    Look for the release of "Real Life Dumbo" in the year 2053.

  3. Re:Isn't this a movie? on How To Clone A Mammoth · · Score: 1

    Isn't that the plot to an episode of The Banana Splits?

  4. Re:Hmmmmm on NYC Law Aims To Ban Cell Phones In Theatres · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the diagnoses McCoy. Pre-med or just an inflated sense of self-worth?

    Gee, you must be a fun date.

  6. Yeah, That'll Work on NYC Law Aims To Ban Cell Phones In Theatres · · Score: 1

    Nothing will stop these pretentious clowns. Another unenforced law on the books. Not a day goes by I don't see Soccer-Mommy barreling down the road with the phone glued to her ear, or Mr Civil servant in the big old SUV jabbering away. Coppers don't give a rat spit.

    And I live in a town of 3000. Like what the smeg could these people have to talk about, that hasn't already been relayed across the back fence the previous afternoon?

    I say jam the signal. Might make a short term bundle selling those fakey signal enhancer dohickeys to the clowns.

    Better yet, Internet Enabled African Children. Starve or feed them from the convienence of your computer. Create your own famine! Pretend your Bob Geldof! Your a god!

    The possibilities are endless

  8. I See Unlimited Opportunities on Internet-enabled Robot to Mow Lawns · · Score: 2, Funny

    (Que booming announcer voice)

    Internet enabled snow blower!!
    Internet enabled dog collar!!
    Internet enabled Popeil Pocket Fisherman!!

    Slapping an X10 camera on something will become the equivalent of "case modding"

  9. Re:confusion on HyShot Scramjet Test Declared a Success · · Score: 1

    "It'll take a much more expensive project to figure this out for sure, hence, NASA's much more expensive project"

    Don't you mean much more expensive failures? Or could this be the dawn of a new NASA era. Low-cost failures, followed by high cost successes.

  10. Re:Cool idea but.... on In Case of Armageddon, Break Out the GIS · · Score: 1

    Right down to the sleeping wino and gutted car up on blocks.

  11. Re:Intersesting story. on First Man To Mars? · · Score: 1

    Unless my memory decieves me, the plane made an emergency landing on Chinese soil. And our crewmen were "guests" of the Chinese.

  12. Re:How serious is this article? on First Man To Mars? · · Score: 2, Funny


    According to the article, he was already quite crispy. Or would that be the equivalent of doulbe-flame broiling?

  13. Re:A Data Point on Portable MP3 Player w/ Unix Support? · · Score: 1

    My PJB-100's have 12 mb buffers. Dependent upon the bitrate, the drive will spin up every 10 minutes or so to replenish the buffer. I believe the Ipod and others employ the same principle (otherwise your battery life would be measured in minutes). Anywho, thats still gonna be a dozen or so spin ups during this chaps run. My PJB's are fairly robust, but if I get them shaking along one particular axis, they will eventually error out.

  14. Re:A Data Point on Portable MP3 Player w/ Unix Support? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Let's try that test again. Go shake it vigorously for an extended period of time, say an hour. Do this for a couple months. I'd like to hear what the results are after the hard drives done a butt-load of seeks. Hard drive players are great. But not for jogging.

  15. Re:Text Ran through the Fish, no Pics, sorry on Touchscreen, Chair & Wheel Case Mod · · Score: 1

    Either

    A) Run in through the Fish
    B) Ask a three year old

    The resulting gibberish is about equal, ex:

    "To upper direction the handle it was sweet and the movement and angle control did to do ease"

    Reminds me of early FANUC CNC manual translations.

  16. Wait A Minute on MIT vs. Las Vegas · · Score: 1


    I go to check out the article and I get a pop-up ad for an online casino?

    I smell a conspiracy......

    I know someone who ain't gonna be get some anytime soon.

    Then again, with a nick like that.......

  18. Re:Shit on Longer Bar Codes Coming in 2005 · · Score: 1

    Better, The Bare Wench Project..........

  24. Re:Oh boy on IMAX Develops Movie Transfer Technology · · Score: 1



    Would that be the occasionally slimmed down Anna Nicole or the more recently as seen on E! porked out Anna?

    Cause it might make a difference. I could distract Martha S with some Imclone stock and give ol C-Top a rotary phone.

  25. I Though on Dan Looks at Office Toys · · Score: 1
